Having heard about the wild horses in the Outer Banks, I had hoped to see some wandering around.<\/p>\n
Though none were sitting on the front lawn as we arrived (as happened to friends one year), I found that there were a few tour companies providing jaunts to the stomping grounds of the wild Spanish Mustangs that roam the area. \u00a0Though we would have loved to join them in their safari-type vehicles, there wasn’t much time on this trip.<\/p>\n
Instead, I found an easier way to spot Corolla horses.<\/p>\n
In celebration of the 2003 Centennial of Flight, a public art installation was brought to the community by the Outer Banks Press. \u00a0Ninety-nine life-sized fiberglass horses, with aluminum aircraft wings, were decorated and displayed throughout the Outer Banks from May 2002 until October 2004. \u00a0Businesses and individuals purchased horses and commissioned artists to decorate them. \u00a0The horses were displayed throughout the community and some auctioned off with profits being donated to\u00a0Corolla Wild Horse fund and other charities.<\/p>\n
